Data Sovereignty
Your data. Your rules. Period.
Data Sovereignty

Your conversations are not
their training data.

Every message you send in Slack flows through Salesforce. Every Teams prompt feeds Microsoft's AI. You're paying them to learn your business. There's a better way.

S
Slack
Owned by Salesforce
  • Messages stored on Salesforce infrastructure
  • AI features process your data through their models
  • Admin data shared across Salesforce products
  • No self-hosted option — data always leaves your control
  • Data retained even after you cancel
  • Export is limited and lossy — years of context lost
“Customer Data may be used to provide and improve Salesforce products and services.” — Slack Enterprise Terms
T
Microsoft Teams
Part of Microsoft 365
  • Copilot indexes all chats, files, and emails by default
  • Data processed through Azure — Microsoft controls the keys
  • Telemetry and usage analytics always on
  • Your prompts and AI interactions flow through Microsoft
  • Model choice locked to GPT — Microsoft decides your AI
  • No way to audit what data Microsoft accesses
“Microsoft may process Customer Data... to provide the Online Services including operations such as AI features.” — MS Product Terms
N
Nexus
Self-hosted or Nexus Cloud
  • Self-host on your server — data never leaves your network
  • You choose the AI model and provider, or run locally
  • Zero telemetry, zero analytics, zero tracking
  • Your conversations are never used for training
  • Full data export and one-click delete, always
  • Open source — audit every line of code yourself
Self-hosted Nexus means it is mathematically impossible for us to access your data. We don't have the keys. We don't have the server. We don't even know you're running it.

Portable workspace

Download your entire workspace as a single file. Messages, tasks, documents, files, Brain memory — everything. Import it on any Nexus instance. Your workspace is a file, not a subscription. One-click kill switch to permanently erase everything — instant, irreversible.

Network transparency

A built-in panel shows every outbound connection your instance makes. Which server, when, why. Self-hosted Nexus contacts exactly one external service: the AI provider you chose. Verify it yourself.

Cost transparency

Every AI call tracked with exact token counts and costs. See what you spend per model, per action, per day. Slack AI charges $10/user/month — Nexus averages $0.10. Full cost dashboard built in.

No analytics or tracking

The Brain

Your team's knowledge,
always on tap.

The Brain follows every conversation and saves what matters — who made which decision, where the budget went, what was promised and by when.

Your team's context stays intact, searchable, and attributed — even when people forget. The Brain coordinates agents and humans, and holds everyone accountable.

Saves what matters Decisions, spending, commitments, policies — automatically extracted from conversations with full context. Who said it, which channel, when. Search anything months later and get the whole picture.
Agent team 8 built-in agents for writing, coding, research, planning, and more. Build custom agents with a prompt — give each one skills, tools, and a persona. Browse and install from the agent library.
Research & knowledge Agents search the web, read documents, and pull from your knowledge base. The Brain synthesizes findings with the team context no external tool has.
Any model OpenRouter gives you 200+ models. Use Gemini for images. Run models locally via Ollama — zero cloud required.
Self-reflection Brain periodically analyzes workspace activity, scores mission alignment, spots who's quiet and what's drifting — then writes its findings into its own memory. It gets smarter without being asked.
Living Briefs Auto-generated reports that stay current: workspace pulse, North Star alignment, team health. Brain synthesizes everything into friendly updates — no dashboards to configure.

AI, Together

Stop using AI alone.
Start using it as a team.

Most teams use AI in private — one person prompts ChatGPT, pastes the output, and nobody knows what was asked or why. Nexus makes AI a shared, transparent experience.

The old way
  • Prompt AI alone in a separate tab
  • Copy-paste results into Slack
  • No one sees the prompt or the model
  • Context lost between conversations
  • Every teammate has a different AI setup
  • AI output treated as someone's opinion
The Nexus way
  • @Brain in any channel — everyone sees it
  • The model, the prompt, the reasoning — all visible
  • Brain remembers every conversation across the team
  • Shared agents with shared skills and knowledge
  • One AI teammate that knows the whole workspace
  • AI output attributed, searchable, and accountable

Full transparency

Every AI interaction happens in a channel. The team sees what was asked, which model answered, and what tools were used. No black boxes.

Shared context

Brain accumulates knowledge from every conversation, decision, and document. When anyone asks a question, Brain draws on the whole team's context — not just one person's chat history.

Accountable AI

AI responses are attributed, timestamped, and searchable. Months later, you can trace any AI-generated insight back to the original question and the context it was given.

Scheduled Intelligence

Put your team on autopilot.

Schedule any agent to run on a calendar — daily digests, price alerts, research reports, task follow-ups. Set it and forget it.

06:00 PM Fridays pending

Calendar-native

Schedule agents the same way you schedule meetings. Pick a time, pick an agent, write the prompt. One-shot or recurring — daily, weekly, cron expressions.

Any model, any task

Override the model per job. Use a fast model for price checks, a reasoning model for research reports. 200+ models via OpenRouter.

Runs while you sleep

The server fires agents on schedule whether anyone is connected or not. Wake up to a digest, a price report, or a research summary already waiting.

Features

Coordinate humans and agents.

Chat, tasks, events, AI agents, and a knowledge base that builds itself — all in one place.

Real-time chat

Channels, DMs, reply threads, emoji reactions, @mentions with autocomplete, desktop notifications, drag & drop file sharing, and markdown with syntax highlighting.

Tasks & scheduling

Create tasks from conversations with a click. Assign to humans or agents, set deadlines, track progress. Brain automatically follows up when deadlines approach.

Events & coordination

Schedule events, coordinate across team members and agents. Track who committed to what and when — the Brain holds everyone accountable.

AI Agents

8 built-in agents: writer, coder, analyst, planner, researcher, and more. Build custom agents with a prompt and give each one skills and tools. Browse the agent library for ready-made templates.

MCP Tools

Extend agents with Model Context Protocol servers. Web search, calendars, databases, APIs — if there's an MCP server for it, Nexus can use it.

Roles & Permissions

9 roles from guest to super admin, 22 granular permissions, and an org chart. Control exactly who sees what, who can invite, and who manages agents.
